italo: Rutherford was succeeded by Nathan Homer Knorr, who was born in 1905 and died in 1977. False. Other translation has it. Emphatic Diaglott(1864), the New Testament, in An improved Version, upon the basis of archbishop Newcome's New Testament: with a corrected Text, london. (1808.) "a" is not found in the original and neither does that suggest inaccuracy in translation. the context helps here. Arguing that it is a mistranslation to insert "a" in that verse will be saying that no translator should insert "a" at John 4:19; 6:70; 8:44 and 10:1. Both KJV, AT, NIV, RSV added "a" there even though "a" didnt appear there in the original. It is grammatically correct. Of course Jesus is a creature. the word "begotten son" alone shows he is. also read Col. 1:15 1 Like |

Watchtower quotes prior to 1914 Russell taught that Jesus invisible rulership began in 1874. "Our Lord, the appointed King, is now present since October 1874, A.D., according to the testimony of the prophets, to those who have ears to hear it: and the formal inauguration of his kingly office dates from Apr 1878, A.D." Studies in Scriptures Series IV (1897) p.621 As shown at DaVinci Code, Russell used pyramidology to support this belief. 1874 to 1914 was described as the greatest time of trouble in human history, with 1914 to be the conclusion of the Last Days. Armageddon would begin, resulting in the wholesale destruction of all government and religion. Russell and his followers were to be raised to heaven and Jesus Kingdom would then be established as paradise on earth. "Now, in view of recent labor troubles and threatened anarchy, our readers are writing to know if there may not be a mistake in the 1914 date. They do not see how present conditions can hold out so long under the strain. We see no reason for changing the figures - nor could we change them if we would. They are, we believe, God's dates, not ours. But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble." Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226 The following quotes during the lead up to 1914 show there could be no doubt as to what followers of the Watchtower Society were to expect. Armageddon ended "… the battle of the great day of God Almighty … The date of the close of that "battle" is definitely marked in Scripture as October 1914. It is already in progress, its beginning dating from October, 1874." Zion's Watch Tower 1892 Jan 15 p.23 End of the "Time of Trouble" "The seventh trumpet sounds from Aug. 1840, until "the time of trouble," or day of wrath is ended. Hence, it doubtless ends with the times of the Gentiles, and this forty years of conquest; and therefore, sounds until A. D. 1914; at the end of which, Babylon the great, will have fallen, and the "dragon" be bound: that is, the nations will be subdued, and "the prince of this world cast out."" Three Worlds and the Harvest of This World (Barbour & Russell, 1877) p.27 2 Likes |

WHAT THE WATCHTOWER CLAIMS IT SAID PRIOR TO 1914 "The Watchtower has consistently presented evidence to honesthearted students of Bible prophecy that Jesus’ presence in heavenly Kingdom power began in 1914." Watchtower 1993 Jan 15 p.5 "Jehovah's witnesses pointed to the year 1914, decades in advance, as marking the start of "the conclusion of the system of things." Awake! 1973 Jan 22 p.8 1 Like |

Three Worlds and The Harvest of This World (1877) p.143 "A.D. 33, to A.D. 70 was 36 ½ years; and so from A.D. 1878 to the end of A.D. 1914 is 36 ½ years. And, with the end of A.D. 1914, what God calls Babylon, and what men call Christendom, will have passed away, as already shown in prophecy." Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come (1891) p.153 "October, 1914, will witness the full end of Babylon, "as a great millstone cast into the sea," utterly destroyed as a system."

italo: Jehovah’s Witnesses may be "disfellowshipped" for a variety of reasons, such as attending a Catholic or Protestant church or receiving a blood transfusion. A disfellow-shipped Witness may attend Kingdom Hall, but he is not allowed to speak to anyone, and no one may speak to him. The others are to act as though he no longer exists. This applies even to his family, who may only communicate with him as much as absolutely necessary. 2 John 1:9-11 KJV Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. [10] If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: [11] For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Acts 20:29, 30; 2pet. 2:1-3 No room for sectarianism and disorderliness in true worship. 2thess. 3:6, 14 " Now we are giving YOU orders, brothers,in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition YOU received from us. But if anyone is not obedient to our word through this letter, keep this one marked, stop associating with him, that he may become ashamed." Some are often visited by elders, so as to readjust them. 1 Like |

MORE SHAMELESS LIES BY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES. (now I know why they lie without remorse or shame on nairaland) Studies in the Scriptures after 1914 Editions of Studies in the Scriptures written prior to 1914 were very specific about what would happen prior to and during 1914. These journals continued to be used after 1914. To overcome the obviously erroneous predictions, in 1915 they were reissued with amendments. For example the 1908 edition of Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come stated on p.228 that the resurrection would occur before 1914. The 1915 edition changed this to state that the resurrection was to occur soon after 1914. Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come 1908 Ed. "That the deliverance of the saints must take place some time before 1914 is manifest, since the deliverance of fleshly Israel, as we shall see, is appointed to take place at that time, and the angry nations will then be authoritatively commanded to be still, and will be made to recognize the power of Jehovah's Anointed. Just how long before 1914 the last living members of the body of Christ will be glorified, we are not directly informed; but it certainly will not be until their work in the flesh is done; nor can we reasonably presume that they will long remain after that work is accomplished. With these two thought in mind, we can approximate the time of the deliverance." Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come 1915 Ed. "That the deliverance of the saints must take place very soon after 1914 is manifest, since the deliverance of fleshly Israel, as we shall see, is appointed to take place at that time, and the angry nations will then be authoritatively commanded to be still, and will be made to recognize the power of Jehovah's Anointed.

try69: You have the opportunity now to prove it wrong. Do you agree a spirit different from the holy spirit would have given your pioneers the doctrines of 1914? We do not claim inspiration, but we believe that truth comes gradually as the light gets brighter. That doesnt mean a bad spirit took over, no. Just like a bad spirit didnt institute the law and later removed it. A bad spirit didnt institute John's baptism and later replaced it with Jesus baptism. truth comes gradually. Peharps this same confusing spirit would have told them to teach you that jesus is angel micheal He is. Prove it wrong. Changes doesnt mean that all our believes will continue to change. no, rather those changes keep leading us to greater bible understanding that leads to sacred secrets of God. It even make us gather more spiritual truths unmatched by another religion. Jehovah keep leading His people. This type of humility is never seen anywhere in any religion. If you have allowed the Lord to lead you, you wouldnt have been haboring a doctrine that the truth clearly shows to be wrong. Jah has always led humble people who accepts correction. If Peter had claimed infallibility, he wouldnt have baptised Cornelius. But he was humble to change. This same spirit would have told you to segregate from people you adjudge "sinners", when even christ said he had not come for the righteous but for sinners, that they would be joy in heaven over one repentant sinner? 1. No. we do not segregate sinners. we preach to everyone. But if you mean people who are disfellowshipped for wrongdoing (which I think Yooguy belongs to). but what can we make out of this? 1cor. 5:11-13 " But now I am writing YOU to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do YOU not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? “Remove the wicked man from among " From the above, what do you think we should do to wrongdoers? associate with them or remove them? 2. Who rules the world? John 12:31 " Now there is a judging of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out." From the above, who could this ruler be? God, Jesus, satan? That the UN is controlled by satan when their written agenda and works says differently? 1. Explain in vivid terms the beasts that appeared at Rev. 13. 2. read Lev. 17:10-12, acts 15:23-29; 21:25. From the principles which could be drawn from those verses? When a gun is pointed at your head, and you can save your life only by sleeping with a gal not your wife, which option will you choose? die or fornicate? |

JMAN05: I just did; and with sound reason except you fail to see because you are told not to oppose fallible teaching And guess you are not aware of JW's flip flop teachings over the years. Ok I get it; Today the holy spirit says "A" and then comes back tommorow and says "sorry oga, what I called A yesterday is actually B"? In 1975 the WTB&TS taught that the man who sows the seed in the parable of the mustard seed (Matthew 13) is Satan. Later that same year the WT Society taught that this sower was Jesus. A similar incident occurred in 1978, when the WTB&TS identified the "Alpha and Omega" of Revelation 22:12-13 as Jehovah (that is, God the Father), and then five weeks later taught these verses referred to Jesus. Resurrection of the Men of Sodom 1879 - They will be resurrected. 1952 - They will not be resurrected. 1965 - They will be resurrected. 1988 - They will not be resurrected. The 'Lord' in Romans 10:12-16 1903 - 'Lord' refers to Jesus. 1940 - 'Lord' refers to Jehovah. 1978 - 'Lord' refers to Jesus. 1980 - 'Lord' refers to Jehovah. 'Higher Powers' of Romans 13:1 1916 - 'Higher powers' refers to governments. 1943 - 'Higher powers' refers to Jehovah God & Jesus Christ. 1964 - 'Higher powers' refers to governments.

JMAN05: Arent you just as evil a liar as your organization? Look at what they said: 1881 "If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth; any knowledge or light coming from god must be like its author. a new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. new light never extinguishes older light, but adds to it. If you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets you would not extinguish one every time you lighted another, but would add one light to another and they would be in harmony and thus give increase of light. So is it with the light of truth; the true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another." (Watchtower Feb. 1, 1881, Reprints p. 188) 1917 "In all his (Russell's) warnings he claimed no originality. He said that he could never have written his books himself. It all came from God, through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit." (Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 7, p. 387.)1922 "This chronology is not of man, but of God. Being of divine origin and divinely corroborated, present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct...." (Watchtower, July 15, 1922) 2 Likes |

italo: I never saw where he claimed inspiration from God. the truth we discover is by the leading of the spirit, but it comes gradually. Not that we hear a special voice from God, nor possess miraculous power like people of old. It is God's leading cos we discover those truths from the bible. This never mean we dont make mistakes as humans, but an INSPIRED word from God doesnt make mistakes. this we dont claim to possess. We do not possess that miraculous power to know. However, even God presents His truths gradually. When God instituted the Mosaic law, He made no mistake cos that was a step to another step. So when the time came, He removed that law. can we now say that the former truth(the law) has been replaced by another truth(law of christ)? No. God is rather unveiling the truth, not replacing it. I think that is what that article want to buttress in one of the points it made above. So was the circumcision issue. in the bible book of Amos, God had shown that people of the gentiles will come in, but He never revealled it until after pentacost, when James quoted it. But that scripture has been there when the teaching of circumcision was taught, but God never allowed any to know it then, until the jerusalem meeting. compare also Dan. 12:4 so light shines brighter and brighter. that is God's way of leading His people. though some mistakes could be out of human error, we cannot also dismiss the fact that truth come gradually. |
